It all began with the X-Factor. Arguably the most capable kayak in its class. A yak that afforded you the option to go into almost any water and do almost anything, all without sacrifice. As a new addition to the X-Family, the Mini-X strikes a perfect balance between comfort and capability.

    What a blast. The Mini-X is stable and nimble. Turns on a dime and still has the room of a larger fishing yak. This is our favorite all around kayak under 10 feet in length.

    Review: Had it out 3x so far on creek & river - extremely pleased with stability, draft & tracking for its size - no problem handling my 6' 185lbs. Get a good seat & platform is comfortable for hours. Packs easily into my short bed truck - looking forward to some stealth fishing!

    Review: This is a great kayak for beginners. Very lightweight but very sturdy. Easy to get in and out of the water,and very comfortable. Even my 8 year old grandson handles it with ease, and I dont have to worry about it tipping over with him.I highly recommend this kayak.

    Review: Great kayak for fishing and anyone looking for portability and storage. I use this more because it is so easy to load and unload. Can't find a kayak that has the features of size, weight (less than 40 lbs). Austin was great to deal with. Quick response and freindly helping people

    Review: Bought me a white mini-x to fish out of. I'm 6' - 270 lbs. The mini-x rides high in the water and is wide and stable. Very easy to haul in my pickup.My son used it and had me order him an orange mini-x.

    Review: I highly recommend this kayak to anyone looking for portability, storability, and performance. I researched this purchase extensively, and I couldn't find a kayak that had the features of size (9' 3"), weight (less than 40 lbs), and capacity (300-325). I'm new to kayak, so I don't have much to compare it to in terms of maneuverability, but I've not been disappointed in the mini x. I fish in mostly fresh water lakes and brackish bayous, and it's been perfect.

    Review: I recently bought a mini-x. Having not done much kayaking I was a little unsure as what to expect. All I can say is though is that it is awesome! I find the hatchery useful. I rigged up an anchor and a couple of extra plastic cleats on the sides an now it is a fishing machine. In fact I caught my first striped bass of the year in it two days ago. Awesome. I would deffinately reccomend it to anyone.

    Review: This is a great boat for the whole family. I have been out on flat water and in the surf. You really do have to work at flipping this one. Several family members ages 10 to 40 used the boat and everybody loved it. I was able to comfortably paddle from the beach with a 50lb kid in the boat with me (6'2" 210lbs). Also I was able to carry the boat by myself up stairs from the beach and about 200 yards to the house.

    Review: This kayak rocks!! I have an X-Factor fully rigged, and thought the Mini-X would be a good kayak for the wife to tag along with.I tried it myself, and now I need to get another one for me!!Great for playing in the surf, or on the river!You can stand in this thing just like the X-Factor!!Lots of room and a lot lighter!

    Review: Great Yak. The mini is perfect for ponds, small lakes and Texas hill country rivers! At 39 lbs, transporting the mini is wonderful. Amazingly it's a very stable and dry ride. Once you paddle the mini you will think twice about taking your larger/heavier yak out next time.
